Briefly

The 2025 New York City Primary Election, set for June 24, is critical, involving key races for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, and local officials. Voters will use the ranked-choice voting system, which allows them to select and rank up to five candidates. If no candidate receives over 50% in the first round, the election continues with the lowest-ranked candidate eliminated until a majority winner emerges. Important voting details include registering ahead and understanding election day procedures, such as polling hours and absentee voting rules.
This election will employ the relatively-new Ranked-Choice Voting system, allowing voters to select up to five candidates in order of preference.
If one candidate receives more than 50% of the top vote in the first round, they win. Otherwise, the process continues until a majority is found.
On Election Day, June 24, polls are open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and voter registration and absentee voting have important rules to follow.
Brooklynites will be voting for positions including Comptroller, Public Advocate, and various local races, making this primary election significant for local governance.
